MRH1106 vs leng loi
(Winner of Typhlosion48 vs Stareal) vs Gray
(Loser of Giannis Antetokommo-o vs hellom) vs Originality56
(Loser of Alhen vs clean) vs heileone
TDNT vs (Loser of 3d vs Ewin)
Tace vs oldspicemike


People already in: Vert, Separation, Let's Rumble Shall We, Fusien, Storm Zone, Ima, Xavgb

Too early to tell with so many good picks left, but I'm still rooting for Vert, Fusien and hellom
 
Final Swiss Week Predicts courtesy of JC98 & I
MRH1106 vs leng loi (35/65) (Leng puts more than 2 seconds of prep into the builder)
(Winner of Typhlosion48 vs Stareal) vs Gray (52/48) (Gray did great but typh is our 3rd protagonist, will be a great set)
Giannis vs Originality56 (60/40) (JC is rooting for the coach, pleasantly surprised by the bounce back from 0-2 for coach but giannis just looks better + is proven)
Clean vs heileone (45/55) (Will Heile escape the nightmare?)
TDNT vs (Loser of 3d vs Ewin) (45/55) (Ewin WILL repeat making playoffs again ):sphearical:
Tace vs oldspicemike (46/54) (Another 0-2 -> 2-2 in Tace, I think mike is generally better at SV but so far OLT playing has looked pretty close. Also, if Tace loses masters vs giatneh , JC98 will donate $80 to the first response to this post's charity of choice.)

For our early trophy predicts,
JC: Vert, 2nd Typhlosion (#1 glazer, he's even better than ABR), T4 Fusien, Xav
Waffle: Jolteon guy (his name is too many syllables), 2nd Fusien, T4 Vert, Heileone

Underdogs who could make a deep run: Whoever wins out of stareal/typhlosion/gray all of them look great and are not to be underestimated, Alhen as well he has looked great and has done sneakily well, Heileone if he beats clean as well since his swiss stage could only be made harder by tagging on fusien, is Let's Rumble Shall We an underdog?

Gendercast Week 5 Predictions (8+ contributors)​

We went 6-6 last week (tough)

MRH1106 vs leng loi (20-80)
  • Nothing positive can come from this for leng loi
  • It is important to note that leng loi is the most tryhard prepper oat
  • The odds are stacked against MRH this week, and he'll need to try something new for a chance to qualify
Typhlosion48 vs Gray (51-49)
  • Typhlosion48 played super well last round
  • Typhlosion has brought better teams overall, in our opinion
  • On the other hand, Gray played pretty well vs Storm Zone
  • Gonna be very close, the Gendercast was split on this one
Giannis Antetokommo-o vs Originality56 (70-30)
  • Giannis is undoubtedly goated
  • Originality has had a pretty easy route to get to 2-2
  • You do not want to see Giannis with his back against the wall
clean vs heileone (46-54)
  • Heileone has faced an absolute GAUNTLET to make it here
  • clean is having a little bit of a loss streak rn, he's likely more focused on SCL
TDNT vs 3d (43-57)
  • It's the first time 3d has to fear being eliminated, but he can definitely bring it home
  • TDNT is solid as well, with a lot of strong support,
  • We're leaning 3d here
Tace vs oldspicemike (52-48)
  • It's gonna be really close
  • Both have trophies, and both really want their first individual's trophy
For our early trophy predicts:

quacc: Vert, 2nd Let's Rumble Shall We
LB: Separation
CrispyFries: Fusien
sire clod: Vert
duckycrater: Vert
cala_aa: hellom
rinagram: Tace
(the others did not want to post their predicts for various reasons)

shot basically 50% two weeks in a row, might be washed

MRH1106 vs leng loi - unfortunately this is probably where the TR miracle run ends; MRH has obviously done well to get this far but the wins have taken a weird route and the losses have been kind of scary looking. though def not impossible esp if leng has to focus on saving SCL
Typhlosion48 vs Gray
Giannis Antetokommo-o vs Originality56
clean vs heileone - my upset prediction, really do think heileone getting that first sheet win will do them some good. their previous opps include vert giannis sz sw which is genuinely ridiculous lol
TDNT vs 3d - do think the year of 3d is coming soon
Tace vs oldspicemike

trophy predicts: think vert got this one but theres lowkey a really good angle for a heileone super run
